معرفی
Erland Östberg serves as a Postdoctoral Fellow and Senior Anesthesiologist at the Center for Clinical Research, Västmanland, affiliated with Uppsala University. Based at Västmanland Hospital in Västerås, Sweden, he holds a doctoral degree and medical licensure, bridging clinical practice and academic research in anesthesia and critical care. His work directly impacts perioperative patient management through evidence-based interventions.
Education
- Doctoral degree (PhD-equivalent) in Medical Sciences
- Medical degree with full licensure as a physician ("dr, leg doctor")
Research Focus
Dr. Östberg specializes in anesthesia-related pulmonary complications, particularly postoperative atelectasis and pleural effusion across surgical contexts. His investigations extend to obesity anesthesia, cancer surgery outcomes, and ventilation optimization, frequently employing clinical trials and registry analyses. He examines how techniques like positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and preoxygenation protocols affect oxygenation and recovery, with growing emphasis on pandemic-era critical care challenges and frailty assessment.
Publication Trends
His 2021-2025 publications reveal consistent themes: comparative analyses of open versus minimally invasive surgical techniques, anesthesia modality impacts on cancer survival, and respiratory complication mechanisms. Recent work intensifies focus on COVID-19 critical care triage, frailty metrics, and bariatric anesthesia safety, demonstrating methodological rigor through randomized trials and national registry studies.
